GRAPHIC=Murder Invest. Even though a suspect is in

custody, the investigation into a
weekend Roanoke murder continues.

ENG#=1 VO-NAT

VO-NAT 22-year-old TJ Thompson was

killed and seven other people were
wounded during the shooting early
Saturday morning.

Now search warrants show police
have retrieved what appeared to be
two-blood samples from a 2001 red
explorer- where one of the victims was
found.

Another warrant shows police went
back inside the house that has been
called a "Nip Joint."

Officers retrieved seven bullets
during this most recent sweep.

Police are also looking for
another gun which an informant says was
thrown into a neighboring yard.

Pritchard, the second -pleaded guilty
to 14-charges in connection to the
November shooting death of 59-year-old

Pritchard had been drinking and using
drugs all night when he decided he
needed money.

That's when he went to Amelio's
